Dayglow Set to Sunset Bushwick Location

Third wave coffee shop packing up for Williamsburg

LA-based coffee shop chain Dayglow (8 Wilson Ave.) is set to close its Bushwick location in February. After three years on Wilson Avenue, they’re now moving west to Williamsburg.

On Nov. 5, Edge Realty started advertising the space to lease. Representatives at Edge declined to comment on the departure.

Dayglow, to me, is notable for the $8.50 espresso tonic I bought for the chance to talk to a barista, who confirmed the closure would happen in February, and that the move would not affect staffing.

Per the barista, their new address will be near the intersection of Grand and Roebling. A search of DOB building permits has yet to turn up an exact address, and Dayglow’s corporate office did not respond to a request to confirm the new location.

A move to Grand and Roebling would place the cafe at the end of long walks from the Marcy J and Bedford L stations, and near the NFT Wall (267A Grand St.), where Grime Square can only assume beautiful things happen.



As first reported by hyperlocal inspiration EV Grieve, Dayglow is also opening a new spot in the East Village, with an additional location coming to the West Village. Their website announces “fall 2026” openings for both, but neither location—both set to host Niteglow taprooms in the evening—has pending or active alcohol permits yet, per New York’s liquor authority.

Near Flushing, Bushwick and East Williamsburg still have other local roasting options like Obscure Coffee Roasters (259 Melrose St.) and Sey Coffee (18 Grattan St.), along with another coffee shop coming to the Jefferson L from the owners of Gowanus’s Alma Negra. We’ll finance our $200 coffees elsewhere.
